Gripping. Beautifully written. The discussion of class does not feel as fleshed out as I had hoped. Female characters stay on the superficial side and tend to fall into tropes. 

Everyone is horrible. 

Amazing storytelling and language, not so great in the portrayal of women and people of colour. 

When it comes to talking about race, this book is not great. When it comes to the rest, it is. 

skin like freshly pressed olives??!
its fine. not more, not less.

Its good, but I thought it would be better

A poetic and subtle reflection on what it means to be human. Because of the strict format/concept it sometimes gets a bit repetitive, but as it is so short that didn't really bother me. 

treatment of native american spirituality? 

I thought I would like this more. I like the focus on class and politics in this cult environment, but the characters fell a bit flat for me and I thought the book could be 250 pages shorter. I prefer her short stories. 

So much fun!

Takes the idea of the Doppelgänger in many different, often surprising directions.
